Netflix Testing Vertical Video Features for Mobile

Netflix is making some exciting changes to its mobile experience. According to Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters during the earnings call on Tuesday, the streaming platform has been testing out new vertical video features for the past few months, offering clips of Netflix shows and movies in a vertical feed. This feature is set to expand to include new content types, like video podcasts, which have recently started streaming on Netflix.

Peters mentioned that users can expect more clips based on different content types, like video podcasts, to be added to the vertical video feed. These changes are part of Netflix’s plan to enhance its mobile user interface to better accommodate its growing business over the next decade.

The new mobile user interface is scheduled to be rolled out in 2026. Peters explained that, similar to the TV interface, this update will serve as a foundation for Netflix to continue improving and evolving its offerings over time.

These updates are in response to the increasing trend of consumers watching more content on their smartphones. Netflix is ensuring that its mobile experience remains engaging and user-friendly to meet the needs of its audience.
